--- Comment #2 from sigsys@gmail.com ---
There's another problem with the textdump(4) example configuration.  At some
point doadump() was modified to take a boolean argument that indicates if
textdumps should be attempted at all (if it is 0, it won't do a textdump ev=
en
if textdump_pending is set).

I had a computer that used to do textdumps correctly that one day did not w=
hen
it paniced.  IIUC ddb(4)'s "call" ends up passing stack garbage when argume=
nts
are not initialized.  And it must usually have had a non-zero value for the
first argument but this time it ended up being zero.

Both share/man/man4/textdump.4 and sbin/ddb/ddb.conf should be modified with
"call doadump(1)" or "textdump dump" (in the later case, "textdump set" wou=
ld
be superfluous).
